Fiberista, I know you know what I mean. It doesn't matter what kind of calm or chaos is happening in your world, the one constant will always be making art. I would say specifically fiber art, but I have a long-held commitment to my art journal as well that tends to...

Falling off my habit wagon

by Stacey | May 24, 2022 | behind the scenes, everyday life | 0 Comments

I am not gonna lie...I have fallen down on the tiny habits thing. I am almost 6 months in, halfway. I knew this would probably happen. I even gave myself a little grace period to skip adding new habits for 8 weeks(broken up as needed) I just know myself. I will let...

I have more than just fiber in the studio, I have all kinds of other art supplies that help me make art. And they too are a hot mess!!! Part of what keeps me creatively productive has to do with other mediums I use to make art. What I mean is, sometimes I get...

Like my spinning WIPs, the weaving WIPs for the most part are just a freeform, on going kind of thing. I do however have a couple of projects. As I mentioned in yesterday's post this is my current working bin. By no means is this the only yarn I am using on my current...

There is another pile in the WIP stash that is way larger than I would like. And to be honest, I am using this blog post to really suss out my feelings about each. Now I know everyone is going to have an opinion about saving the projects I am about to list. And while...

Studio Awesome Challenge Day 23: When bad things happen to good yarn

WooHoo!! Alright, here is the official WIP purge. So for the most part the yarn is worth saving. But I thought you might like to hear the post mortum of these projects gone horribly awry. I love this yarn, and I have a metric tone of it. I was going to make a...
